A/N: Lalalala, typing up chapter 16...wow I am debating on leaving a cliffy or not.

"There is power in self-sacrifice." -Veronica Roth

When I woke up, I noticed that I was binded down. Light blinded me and I groaned when the pain slapped me, it was agony. I gritted my teeth together and moaned again before my vision regained its focus.

Sesshomaru was hovering over me, his eyes gazing at me. I opened my mouth, but no words would come out, my eyebrows furrowed and I frowned. He brought water to my lips and I drank greedily, not allowing for a single drop to be spared.

I sighed and he placed the cup down, now it was time for the questions. "Why am I bound?" I asked, I found myself smiling like an idiot. I have missed him so much, and now seeing him here before me, it was relaxing.

He frowned and his gaze hardened, my smile faultered and that's when I remembered what had happened before I blacked out.

He had entered the room, and when the light faded he stared at whatever remained of Kagura before me. I called to him and he did to me, I reached out to him but that's when I lost conciousness. I felt embarrased, I looked away. Does he think I am a monster? After all he knew her.

"You are a fool." He stated coldly and I flinched, he never talked to me like that, like I was nothing to him. "You've been unconcious almost the entire day," He gazed out and I realized there was a window. I peered out in delight, finally being able to see the blazing sun collide with the horizon made me feel normal again.

"Your execution has been moved to tomorrow." He turned towards me and I felt my body grow numb. How could I have forgotten? I've been so stupid, I should have spirited away towards the others!

"I...I." I began but the words died on my lips, tonight I would have to report to them what happened. A loud bang jolted me out of my thoughts and I snapped my head towards Sesshomaru. His fists were dented into the metal case, and anger rolled off him in waves, much so that it clashed with mine.

"I could not convince them not to." He began as he turned to me and his glare made me squirm. Wait, he tried to have me not executed? I blushed, but it still didn't make the sadness go away. I was to die tomorrow. It was a collision of emotions, joy that I could see Sesshomaru, then anger that I have failed my comrades.

There was no fear, I was numb to it. I glanced over at Sesshomaru, his lip curled as he watched the descending sun. "Aren't you mad at me?" I asked, a little anxious on what his answer would be.

"No."

The air instantly lightened, and I couldn't stop the smile that latched onto my face. At least this would give me some sort of peace. But the words Kagura spoke to me kept echoing, Well, it won't hurt to ask would it?

"Why do you do this?" I began, allowing a pause to see if he would let me continue. When he said nothing I started once more, "I mean, you've done so much already, and you even asked for me to be spared."

"What am I to you?" I whispered and he finally turned to me. I shuddered under his piercing amber gaze and he walked towards me, stopping short a few moments of the table. I felt my face heat up and I squirmed.

How long is he going to stare at me like that!? I turned my face away, my lips in a pout as I sulked in a corner. Guess I didn't mean enough for him to answer me.

A clawed hand encircled my chin and gently guided me forward, I gasped when his claws lightly brushed against my cheek. My jaw slackened and I was lost in his eyes once more, except they were filled with a warmth I have never really seen on his face before.

There was a beep and as quick as the touch came it vanished and Sesshomaru was on the other side of the room. In came two gaurds, the very ones whom chased me through the halls. They turned to Sesshomaru and bowed, "Is she completely bandaged, Sesshomaru-sama?"

Sesshomaru nodded and they glanced over at me, a truimph smirk on their face and I glared back. They undid my bounds and roughly secured my arms behind me, they bowed to Sesshomaru once more and they began to take me out. I looked back at Sesshomaru, our gazes linked together until I could see him no more.

I growled, yanking on the chains for the hundreth time today, the room was surrounded in concrete and my hands were bound to the wall with rusted metal chains. My hands were bound in front of me, and they went long enough for me to crouch but nothing more than that.

I hauled at them once more, but winced when I felt my wrists burn. "The rust on these things." I grumbled angrily as I glanced at them, the skin had been scratched off and it was starting to bleed already.

I scoffed and plopped down, leaning back onto the cold wall behind me. My wrists still throbbed and I squeezed my eyes shut in a pointless effort to ignore it. It stayed like that for a while, me listening to nothing and just trying to focus on anything but my arms.

The door clicked and a powerful aura entered the room, it was demonic and sinister, and I knew immediately who it was. My eyes flung open and I got up in the crouched position and faced him, the dark figure in the corner of the room.

Beady red eyes studied me eagerly, and a toothy grin that I could only compare to a chesire cat shined through the darkness. "Naraku." I spat and the man stepped forward, allowing what little light to illuminate his figure.

"I always knew there was something about you," He chuckled as he approached me, I narrowed my eyes and had my powers at the ready. "But now I know for certain whom it was." He clicked his tongue as he leaned his face forward, his lips stopped short of my ear and I stiffened.

"Sesshomaru's lab rat." My eyes widened and every hair on my body stood erect. I growled and lunged forward and he stepped back, my body was numb with a fear that I had tried to supress the moment I felt him enter.

"But do not worry, for after your execution. Sesshomaru will face the only cruelest of punishments." Naraku said with a cheerful tone. "Ripping him apart limb by limb."

Something within that statement sparked panic and fury within me, "Leave him alone!" I shouted before the air filled with purity. Naraku flinched and the area around us began to cackle and fill with a purple light coming from me.

"He has nothing to do with this!" Naraku turned and started to escape but I managed to hit him with a beem of light. His body was thrown onto the door and half of it was burned off. I fell onto my knees, my body exhausted from that last shot.

"You bitch," He spat, tentacles sprouting from where he was burned. "I will have the pleasure of executing you." He snapped before the door slammed in my face and I was left in the darkness once more.

I sighed, my eyes glancing around at nothingness, I leaned against the wall and relaxed my body. Everyone is in danger because of me...and Sesshomaru. That punishment is the worst any demon can have. He will die like me.

I closed my eyes and focused on the well, and the forest where we have always found to be our haven. I have to tell everyone that we are escaping tonight, no matter what our cause cannot die here.

This literally took three days since my computer decided to not accept my wifi. Sorry for the delay but I will upload the next chapter shortly since it was done beforehand. And this was not proofread.
